Dress code, fundraising discussed by board Girls’ leggings, solicitations by kids AISD meeting topics by mark k. campbell The July 29 board meeting hit upon a couple of subjects that brought about some robust discussion among those in attendance. Dress code The word “leggings” set off a detailed examination of exactly what would be tolerated when the bell rings for this school year Aug. 25. Under Clothing in the Dress Code section of the Student Handbook (available online at www.azleisd.net on the high school front page), the notation is: “Leggings under skirts/ dresses are considered hosiery. Skirt/ dress/top must comply with 5-inch rule.” AHS Principal Sam Robinson said this year’s dress code stresses that leggings must be “dark.” That brought about some discussion about concerns of threadbare dark leggings. White and “transparent” leggings are too revealing, so all must be “dark.” Tops must meet the 5-inch rule. Robinson noted that the 5-inch dis-

tions.” After plenty of back and forth, the group decided it would be wise to wait and see how the city rules on a no solicitation ordinance it is considering. “We want students to follow city rules,” said Loeffelholz. The city was expected to address that ordinance at its Aug. 5 meeting. If approved, a required certificate is expected to be available at no charge. The AISD committee said a maximum of one school-wide fundraiser with students doing the actually selling would be permitted. Concern was raised about children going door to door, but it was noted that it would likely be school PTOs that would oversee the fundraisers. This single school-wide activity would be exclusive from fundraising efforts by booster clubs for groups like sports, band, or drama. Student fundraising The use of individual incentives Board members Eric Loeffelholz and Sam Merck – Shannon Hart was would be prohibited. However, class absent – discussed a prior second or grade level incentives were okayed.

AISD policy for “gifts and solicitatance is measured from the middle of the knee upward, “about the length of a dollar bill.” He added that students were not the only ones wearing leggings to AHS; some teachers do, too. He said he experimented with allowing the 5-inch distance to be raised to 7-inches last February and it was immediately abused. So the 5-inch rule is locked in. Also out is Spandex, another fashion statement sometimes made by students and adults. Then junior high principals in attendance spoke up, saying they felt their recently reviewed Student Handbooks might not perfectly line up with Robinson’s at the high school. All principals said they would take another look at their handbooks.

City Council previews new budget before workshop

By Natalie Gentry Four days before the Azle City Council sat down to work through the details of the 2014-15 fiscal year city budget, they held a special public meeting to touch on some of the highlights. “Each year we are faced with new challenges,” said City Manager Craig Lemin. “This year it was property values. “Although property values were up on the Tarrant County side of the city, they were down on the Parker County side.” And since Parker County doesn’t provide a breakdown of funds, exactly what caused the decrease is unknown. Lemin went on to explain that the revenues in the general fund are beginning to look better, but the utility fund, which is traditionally quite healthy, is beginning to drop due to ongoing droughts and potential climate changes. He also said that if the drought continues, the city may need to consider restructuring the utility rates to base Nothing like a mushroom cloud to get the attention of a room full of rate model.

$13 million which, according to Lemin, is still not back up to the all-time high in 2009. However, the meeting wasn’t full of negative news. New construction was up this past year, and the city projects small increases in sales tax and franchises. In addition, multiple personnel changes are included in the budget, including the promotion of two library

assistant positions to librarian at the Azle Memorial Library Lemin noted that there are not many capital expenses included in the budget with limited equipment purchases including a new cardiac monitor, three new police vehicles, and a new mower. He also said that the golf course is still on track to be paid off in 2016. PLEASE SEE BUDGET, PAGE 2A.

CTE on the rise

Grass Fire Call

Voter-approved Career and Technical Education Building going up at AHS by mark k. campbell Already the scenery at Azle High School is different. With a chain-link fence running along Boyd Road and several trees removed, passersby can get an idea just how large – and view altering – the new Career and Technical Education (CTE) Building is going to be. The CTE is being constructed at the same time as the competition gym, so AHS will look radically different in a year when both are expected to open, August 2015. To get to that point, however, it’s Firefighters from the LaJunta, Reno, Springtown, and Briar VFDs responded to a grass fire call in going to be crowded and busy on camthe 100 block of Hyde Away Lane Tuesday Aug. 5 at 2:03 p.m. The fire was subdued quickly, but the pus during the 2014-15 school year.

dents will remain in one place until the new building is ready. Once it is deemed good to go, agriculture, auto shop, and industrial technology will all move in together. While the Azle football team will have just four home games this season – a rarity – parking will still be problematic for AHS with the constant construction. Parking spaces have been lost behind the annex – where the new gym is rising – as well as spaces along the drive that goes back into the cafeteria and shops. However, AHS Principal Sam Robinson has worked out a parking sysPLEASE SEE BUILDING, PAGE 2A.

Four students rose to the next level of AP Scholar with Honor by averaging a score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams, taking four or more each with a score of 3 or higher. Finally, a trio of AHS students reached the upper limits of AP Scholar with Distinction by averaging 3.5 with scored 3 or higher on 5 or more tests. Anderson said, “That is something to be proud of; that is not easy to achieve. These tests are hard.” The previous school year, only one AHS student achieved Distinction.

tem, Smith said. While some parking will be designated for students and faculty, “we are also in the process of building an asphalt parking lot at the site of the old church between Walnut Creek Elementary and AHS,” Smith said.

That former church construction is being done with “an inter-local agreement with Tarrant County,” he said. Smith said he didn’t have a count to compare before and after total parking berths once the old church lot is paved and available.

Other events Child Nutrition Director Kristen McMillan said some changes were coming for AISD students. This school year, raw hamburger meat will be cooked and real pork bacon prepared.

Way paved for 3 phases of construction on Silver Creek Road by mark k. campbell Your favorite cut-through to Fort Worth is about to be messed up. The 3-phase plan to fix Silver Creek Road and two bridges near Lakeside will begin in October. The initial phase will address two issues – the bridge that is about 150-200 yards south of Watercress Drive and 150 feet of pavement from the bridge to 150 feet north of Live Oak Bridge. Both of these projects are slated to run from October until April 2015. The current bridge is just 22 feet wide. Upon completion, the new bridge will be 44 feet wide, contain two 14-foot lanes, and offer 8-feet shoulders on each side. Motorists need to find an alternate route since Silver Creek Road will be completely closed for the bridge repair. However, during paving, traffic with be allowed either all from the north or all from the south. Phase 2 concerns only Live Oak Creek Bridge, the farthest south located near Silver Creek Materials. While property owners will sometimes have access during the Oct. 2015 to April 2016 bridge replacement, no through traffic will be permitted. Live Oak Creek Bridge will also expand from 22 to 44 feet. Finally, Phase 3 concerns improvements to Silver Creek Road itself. Scheduled from October 2017 to April 2018, paving will be done from 150 feet south of Live Oak Creek Bridge to where new pavement begins. A third bridge on Silver Creek Road – one that spans a dry creek bed – will not be replaced. The bridge repair funds come from TxDOT; a Fort Worth bond is paying for the paving. While some funds are ear-

Azle Volleyball outdoor tournament huge success By Natalie Gentry According to booster president Janine Smith, the Azle volleyball team’s first annual outdoor volleyball tournament was a huge success. Sixteen teams, captained by AHS team members, played on grass and sand courts in Azle’s Central Park Saturday, Aug. 2. After competing in pools of four, the top two teams in each advanced to the championship bracket. The other two teams in each pool competed in the consolation bracket where Brooke Smith’s team, “Sets on the Beach” won the day. At the end of the day, the top two teams were reserve champions “The Hazbeens” coached by Chandler Arnold, and grand

Azle Rotarian

Azle Rotarian Dean Peyton told club members of his research into Highway 199. A former resident of Arlington, he likened the lack of movement on getting the Jacksboro Highway finished to the long stretch it took to complete Highway 360 southbound in Arlington. He noted that because of funding complexities, 199 becoming a toll road is not out of the question. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Perrianne Brownback, pastor, author, and art lover spoke to the Azle Chamber of Commerce on Aug. 5. She explored the concept of the phrase “where creativity meets commerce” that she once saw on a postcard at a hotel in London. Brownback hypothesized that communities that foster and celebrate the arts tend to be ones that prosper. She explained that the varied and resourceful thinking that is demanded by creativity cultivate success in today’s marketplace. Brownback believes that Azle is primed to become an art community as well as a thriving commerce center. Photo by Natalie Gentry

Feeling puny: Ain’t nobody got time for that

am the only guy I know who can be sick for five days, consume nothing but crackers and sports drinks (which quickly exited the body – it was like pouring through sieve) and still manage to gain three pounds. Somehow I picked up the bug that’s going around, the “stomach flu” – the only more generic illness label is “flu-like symptoms.” But this sucker wouldn’t go away. I christened the ailment 3TM: I read three entire Texas Monthlys while perched upon the porcelain throne.

If you need to know anything about Wendy Davis or where to eat in Corpus Christi, I’m your man. You know, when you’re 58 and have a family history of “innard problems,” you worry when your stomach cramps and the fact that you might have eaten your last dozen chocolate donuts or cheeseburger. The latter was especially disconcerting when news came out that I might croak and not make it to Red Robin. The restaurant chain “won” the worst healthy-thing you can buy in a restaurant for its A.1.

ried to the General – howled, of course. I could easily reduce the number of calories by getting rid of the tomatoes. (I once went to a restaurant that, so I had been told, offered unlimited French fries, served in a regularly refreshed platter on a salad bar. After multiple returns for fries, the manager came up – as I had a mouthful of fries sticking out like porcupine quills on an inquisitive dog’s nose – and asked what I was doing, that the fries were not unlimited at all. He didn’t charge me more; he just asked me to stop, since I had eaten about $70 worth.)

Anyway, while flipping through a Texas Monthly yet again, I wondered if I would ever get to gorge on that giant burger. Finally I gave up and went to the doctor who gave me a pill the size of a ladybug that turned the tide, as it were. I’m back in action! While I was shocked to gain weight while being hunkered down, I figured I might as well eat yummy food while I can. Note to self: renew Texas Monthly subscription. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and had a chocolate donut at church and it was GREAT!

Three Flags Ceremony 210 years ago changed history

ceremony occurred 210 years ago, March 9-10, 1804, that represented a major event in U.S. history. In St. Louis it is called Three Flags Day and commemorates the acquisition of the Louisiana Purchase, which meant that the U.S. doubled in size. Actually, we doubled in size three times: 1. At the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, Britain acquired French land, and after that the colonies on the east coast stretched to the Appalachian mountains. 2. Twenty years later in 1783 after the American Revolution, Britain set our western boundary at the Mississippi River, land they got in 1763, doubling again. 3. Later in 1803 the U.S. would acquire Louisiana. Spain sold the Louisiana Territory (that she won from France in 1763) back to France by a secret treaty in 1800. Because France under Napoleon represented a threat, President Thomas Jefferson worried when he eventually learned of the sale. Ameri-

THE

cans on the Western frontier, particularly the Ohio Valley, shipped or floated their produce down the Mississippi River to New Orleans for transfer to the east coast by sea. Jefferson feared that France might halt that trade through New Orleans if she engaged in war with Britain (which the two did frequently). Jefferson decided to purchase New Orleans from France. Luckily, Napoleon was willing to sell all of Louisiana because of war reverses and needing money. Louisiana stretched from the present state of Louisiana, up the west bank of the Mississippi and across the northwest practically to the Pacific. (Britain claimed some of the Oregon country, and Spain owned the Southwest.) For $15 million dollars the U.S. bought ALL of the Louisiana Purchase. Yes, it doubled the territory of the U.S. again. We need a map here. Use your imagination. The Mississippi River does not cut the present continental U.S. in half equally. It is east of the mid-point. Draw a line on the 98th meridian from north to south vertically, and that divides the country in half. The line runs awfully close to coming down

I-35, which is why Fort Worth is “where the West begins.” Thus, the part of the U.S. east of the Mississippi was about equal to the territory of the Louisiana Purchase. Now, let me PAGES FROM explain the WESTERN Three Flags Ceremony. In HISTORY late 1803 in J’Nell L. Pate New Orleans Spain formally transferred Louisiana to France, and then a month later, Dec. 20, France formally transferred Louisiana to the U.S. However, because it was winter, and travel upriver on the Mississippi stopped, folks in St. Louis – the major inland city of the western trade – did not know. Therefore, when boats could travel upriver, a delegation proceeded north to that city. On March 9, 1804, a ceremony low-

ered the Spanish flag and raised the French one. The latter flew over St. Louis for 24 hours. Then on March 10, the French flag was lowered, and the U.S. flag raised. William Clark and Meriwether Lewis, whom President Jefferson already had charged to explore the new territory, attended the ceremonies. Jefferson tried to get someone to explore for years, even before the U.S. owned Louisiana. By the sale, the U.S. gained possession of the “entire western watershed of the Mississippi.” Historian Landon Y. Jones, wrote, “The most prominent absentees at the Three Flags Ceremony were the Indians who actually controlled the lands being transferred.” The number of Euro-Americans inhabiting the Purchase was a bit over 10,000, but estimates place at least 100,000 Indians from dozens of tribes. Most of the 3,500 residents of St. Louis spoke French at the time. Probably a lot of “pubs” or bars served alcohol to celebrate the exchange of the three flags, and even today St. Louis has a Three Flags Tavern. Notice what occurred in only 40 years that benefitted the American

colonies and then the United States, mainly because of the wars of three major European powers. With that final exchange of territory, the Louisiana Purchase, and doubling our size for the third time, we were assured of becoming a great nation. Protecting oceans on each side saved us from successful invasion by any methods possible in the nineteenth century. Wealth untold rested in those lands – furs, gold, silver, oil, and land for expansion. And, yes, the Indians owned it. George Washington, Jefferson, and their contemporaries honestly believed that it would take four or five centuries to settle that much land. (After all, it took a couple of centuries to settle just on the east coast.) Thus they planned to coexist with the native peoples. The freedom of a democracy and the lure of land began to draw millions of immigrants, and then gold was discovered. The World Rushed In to quote the title of a book by J. S.

Texas deals with border as Congress departs

ongress left Wa s h i n g t o n , D.C., Aug. 1 for a month-long recess, without having passed an immigration bill addressing the porous U.S.-Mexico border and humanitarian crisis. Figures compiled by the federal Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection division show 57,500 “unaccompanied alien children” have been apprehended and processed since October 2013, the majority in the Rio Grande Valley. While President Obama’s request to Congress for $3.7 billion in emergency funding remains pending, the governor’s office said the state of Texas will tap available funds to pay the cost of deploying 1,000 national guard troops along the border to assist in law enforcement operations. The cost to do that is estimated at $12 million a month. Volunteer organizations are delivering support to help care for mothers with small children

and unaccompanied minors from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador who have crossed the border to escape gang violence and poverty. Aid comes in the form of food, clothing, medical supplies, school supplies and legal assistance. On July 25, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-McAllen, sent letters to House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Kentucky, and Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate requesting financial assistance and reimbursement for communities affected by the current border humanitarian crisis. Included in Cuellar’s correspondence to both officials were letters from the City of McAllen, City of Laredo and Webb County Sheriff’s Office detailing costs incurred by each entity. “Since the border humanitarian crisis began, local governments, non-profit organizations, law enforcement and community partners have been shouldering a large and unex-

Texas high school graduation rates hit all-time high

report released by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) says that the Lone Star State 2013 seniors set a new state record for graduation rates. The new record is 88 percent. The news inspired Gov. Rick Perry to note: “We’ve set the bar high for Texas students to ensure every graduate is ready for college or career, and they have consistently demonstrated that they are up to the challenge. “The class of 2013’s historically-high graduation rate is a testament to the hard work being put in by teachers and administrators in schools across the state, and students who realize the importance of a strong education in pursuing and realizing their dreams.” The TEA report noted that graduation rates have been on

the rise every year since 2007. That year’s grad rate was 78 percent. Since then: • 2008 – 79.1 percent • 2009 – 80.6 • 2010 – 84.3 • 2011 – 85.9 • 2012 – 87.7 For 2013, Asian students posted the highest graduation rate at 93.8 percent. White students followed at 93.0 percent. Graduation rates reached an all-time high for Hispanic and African-American students at 85.1 and 84.1 percent, respectively. In 2007, only 68.5 percent of Hispanic students graduated and 70.5 percent of AfricanAmericans graduated. The 2013 dropout rates for the groups were: Asian, 0.6; White, 0.8; Hispanic, 2.0; and African American, 2.3.

by mark k. campbell Almost a full two weeks before school starts, the Lady Hornet volleyball team will be playing matches that count. Azle opens the 2014 season Tuesday, Aug. 12 with a trip to Decatur. School begins Aug. 25. At Decatur, AHS will not only face the Lady Eagles, but will also see the Joshua Lady Owls. Coach Jennifer Robinson

began two-a-day practices Monday, Aug. 4. That included running endurance, physical agility drills, and weight lifting. Before the regular season begins, Azle will play a pair of scrimmages on the road. The Lady Hornets head to Boswell Aug. 8 then to Bowie the next day. The varsity squad will play tournaments at Saginaw (Aug. 15) and Graham (Aug. 22). The third and final pre-dis-

trict tourney is set for Argyle Aug. 28. The bulk of the non-district matches are on the road. In fact, Azle will not play a home match until Sept. 9 against Grandview, the final game before 5-5A plays starts. One unusual stretch of the district slate has AHS hosting three district foes in a row: Denton (Sept. 30), Saginaw (Oct. 3), and Wichita Falls Rider (Oct. 7).

It’s football time in Texas again, and the Hornets will begin the 2014 season with two-aday practices Monday, Aug. 11. Azle, again led by Devon Dorris, will hit the field for two weeks then will play its only scrimmage, at home against Burleson Friday, Aug. 22. After school starts Monday, Aug. 25, practices move to after school. The varsity Hornets have a quirky schedule this year. Azle opens at home against Granbury Friday, Aug. 29 then will play just one more home game until Oct. 17. In between, the Hornets head for Waxahachie to face Red Oak in the Dale Hansen Football Classic on Sept. 5. That’s followed by non-district trips to Cleburne (Sept. 12), an open date, and the District 5-5A opener at Boswell in the resumption of the Take the Lake series. Finally, on Oct. 3, Azle will return to Hornet Field to host Saginaw on Junior High It’s all about getting ready for the season as Azle High School head coach Jennifer Robinson put Lady Hornets through a variety of drills and Night. fitness exercise stations during two-a-days that began Aug. 4 to prepare AHS for the upcoming season.

Youth Football Camp Catches On

Session I of the annual youth football camp was big fun for many kids at their morning gatherings. One drill had youngsters snagging passes. The second session, conducted each evening Aug. 4-7, saw over 110 Hornets entering grades 7 through 9 put through drills at Hornet Field by Azle coaches, including coach Bob Gilbreath (far right).

Movie Man

Wednesday, August 6, 2014

Marvel-ous streak continues with Guardians The big gamble paid off and it’s official: Marvel Studios is on the kind of roll Pixar enjoyed. Marvel can seemingly do no wrong. About the film The studio created a Galactus-sized plan. Not only would a series of movies be made – some of them utilizing far from popular characters – but they would interlock with each other and be projected out for years in a series of “phases.” Plus there would be TV crossovers as well as “oneshots” released on DVDs and into the cyberworld – all part of the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” (MCU). Clearly, this is a massive vision, especially considering some of the bigger comic book properties – X-Men, SpiderMan – are outside Marvel Studios’ grasp right now. Phase One for MCU began in 2008 with Iron Man (Movie Man No. 771, 8, Best of Year). The reboot of The Incredible Hulk (MM #777, 7) followed with both being good movies that enjoyed great success. Next came Iron Man 2 (2010, MM #876, 7), Thor (2011, MM # 929, 7), and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011, MM #940, 7). By 2012, the studio had set up the first of three Avengers (MM #981, 8) movies, and, because of the high-quality of its predecessors and the carefully crafted MCU master plan, The Avengers became one of the biggest moneymaking movies in history: No. 3 in the U.S with $623.4 million (behind only Avatar [2009, MM #856, 7, $760.5 million] and Titanic [1997, MM #212, 8, $658.6 million]) and No. 3 internationally, too, with $1.519 billion. Worldwide, just Avatar ($2.788 billion) and Titanic ($2.187 billion) lead The Avengers. Cleary, Phase One was a monster success. Phase Two began last year with Iron Man 3 (MM #1,034, 6) and Thor: The Dark

World (MM #1,061, 6). Guardians of the Galaxy is the third of four films in Phase Two. (TV’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is also part of the scheme.) The final movie of Phase Two will certainly rake in hundreds of millions in the U.S. when Avengers: Age of Ultron arrives May 1, 2015. Phase Three also starts in 2015 with Ant-Man. Fanboys know all about the drama behind its creation and the jettisoning of cult favorite director Edgar Wright who had spent years working on it. The rest of Phase Three: Captain America 3 (May 6, 2016), the very cool Doctor Strange (July 8, 2016), and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (July 28, 2017). Marvel packages the Phases for home viewing along with some “one-shots” that expand on the massive universe. They also plan on using Netflix as a means to showcase Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and others to eventually assemble as the Defenders, kinda an Avengers lite. And…a Phase Four looms with new film dates just announced by Marvel (not the movies, just the dates): Nov. 3, 2017, July 6 and Nov. 2, 2018, and May 3, 2019. While one of those is surely the final Avengers movie, who knows what the others are? Now all of this is some serious projecting. The same thing is going on with the Star Wars universe at Disney. Guardians was the first Disney/Marvel collaboration and it has worked out just fine. Here’s hoping the same holds true for the upcoming Star Wars onslaught that begins with Episode VII (Dec. 18, 2015). Next year will clearly see the release of two of the biggest movies of all-time. The plot (spoiler) In 1988, right after watching his mother die of cancer, young Quill (Chris Pratt as an adult) gets sucked up by a spaceship. Decades later, he is a stealing an orb for the head galactic pi-

busts a few moves while off to snatch the orb, his orange earphones blaring “Come and Get Your Love” by Redbone (a rare, all-Native American group). Other hits older viewers will like include 10cc’s “I’m Not in Love,” “Go All the Way,” by the Raspberries, and, if you are really hip, “Moonage Daydream” by David Bowie. And…

Soon, a couple of bounty hunters – Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and his thug protector tree-like Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) – are after Quill. And so is Gamora (Zoe Saldana) who has been sent for the world-destroying orb by her cruel master Ronan (Lee Pace) who in turn wants to give it to all-mighty Thanos. But Gamora is actually anti-Ronan and wants to stash the orb from him with the Collector (Benicio del Toro.) (Confused yet?) Quill, Rocket, Groot, and Gamora wind up jailed. They escape with the help of Drax the Destroyer (wrestler Dave Bautista) who is desperate for revenge on Ronan. Evil Ronan gets the orb, but Quill partners with Yondu and his gang to attack Ronan’s ship before he can destroy Nova, a planet he has it in for. There’s a mighty battle. However, Ronan proves to be one tough dude to dispatch. So, the riffraff Guardians bond together for what could be one final time. (It’s not.) What works (spoiler) The Guardians are all really cool. Pratt is very good and the computer generation of Rocket and Groot is perfect. (Good

Drought still a hot topic Some EML residents mowing where water once stood while hopes for rain from El Nino might fizzle out by mark k. campbell How ‘bout that drought? Of course, North Texas – even some other portions of our state – isn’t the only place in these United States where wa-

ter is scarce. But we’re not exactly awash in water. And, while there’s a faint cloud of hope on the horizon, don’t bet on it.

The West As bad as the drought is in the Lone Star State, it’s a monster in California. That entire state is under “Severe” drought at the very least. Most of the Golden State carries the harshest distinction on the map updated weekly at the National Drought Mitigation Center – “Exceptional.” In the entire U.S., 3.9 percent of the land falls under that Exceptional listing. That’s up from 3.17 a year ago. The majority of that percentage falls in California. A bit more spills into neighboring Nevada. The rest? Texas. Still, as a whole, America is in a lesser drought danger than a year ago. In July 2013, the percent of the U.S. falling in one of the five drought categories – Abnormally Dry; Moderate; Severe; Extreme; and Exceptional – stood at 57.23 percent. This July, the most recent figures available, that number is 47.5 percent. That means 52.5 percent of America is just fine, moisturewise. Most of those states are in the Midwest and Northeast. Other regions continue to suffer, though. You expect the Southwest with its massive stretches of desert lands to be arid. However, every inch of New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada are under A bird lands where there was once plenty of water; to- some class of drought danger. day, it has to look a bit longer.

making up Texas, it’s expected we might see some thirsty areas. And that’s the case. Much of North Texas and up through a big chunk of the Panhandle is immersed in severe drought at the very least. Northern Dallas, Tarrant, and Parker Counties are in the ExTexas With such massive land mass treme category. A wide swathe Oregon is normal. And the majority of Idaho and Utah are deemed too dry. Kansas is the Midwest state suffering the most; the Sunflower State has only its northeast corner unflagged.

of that dryness sweeps around the Red River and up the Panhandle to Oklahoma. There are pockets of Exceptional drought in Texas. One is not too far away as Palo Pinto, Stephens, and Throckmorton Counties are Exceptional as is a huge, 8-county PLEASE SEE GREAT, PAGE 2B.

Still, there’s a good news-bad news scenario brewing out in the Pacific Ocean – an El Nino. The good news, according to the Climate Prediction Center and the National Oceanic and Administration, is that there’s an 80 percent chance the atmosphere-changer will arrive in

the Northern Hemisphere this fall and early winter. The bad news? “Forecasters anticipate the El Nino will peak at weak-to-moderate strength,” a report noted. If the El Nino sputters out, folks around here might just be mowing the lake a little while longer.
